Lars,
I have had a similar problem since long ago it is now fixed.
My problem was that any time I right clicked a drive icon, my computer
locked up. It ended up that my problem was the registry context handler in
windows xp.
To fix the problem, I downloaded and installed "Shellexview" (type the name
into your browser to find a place to download). When you open the program it
will list a bunch of files, sort these by file type and then disable (right
click the file name and you get the option) all third party context menu
items. I have put up with this problem forever and it is a wonderful thing to
have it fixed.
Good luck...gary
